Crime Female Local Government Officer Gunned Down in Her Grocery Shop in Pattani
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A shocking murder has shaken the local community in Pattani after a female subdistrict administrative officer (SAO) was fatally shot multiple times in her own grocery shop. Authorities are investigating possible motives, including personal issues, work-related tensions and regional unrest. Pol. Col. Torlap Lengha, Superintendent of Mayo Police Station, confirmed that police were alerted by Mayo Hospital at 22:05 on 7 June, reporting a shooting victim who had succumbed to her injuries en route to the hospital. The incident occurred at a grocery shop in Moo 2, Panan subdistrict, Mayo district. The victim, identified as Ms Mariyah aged 45, was employed as a financial officer at the administrative organisation of Pado subdistrict. She sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was found in critical condition. Eyewitnesses reported hearing several gunshots ring out in rapid succession, followed by the discovery of the victim’s body amidst a pool of blood in her shop. Forensic officers were dispatched to the scene on the morning of 8 June to gather further evidence, while surrounding CCTV footage is being reviewed. Preliminary findings suggest that the attack was premeditated and may have involved more than one assailant. Police are actively pursuing three possible motives: a personal dispute, work-related conflict or involvement with the ongoing unrest in Thailand’s southern border provinces. The investigation is being led by Pol. Lt. Col. Sannpakorn Luechiew, who has been tasked with overseeing the collection of evidence and interviewing witnesses. Senior commanders have ordered an expedited operation to track down the perpetrators and bring them to justice. Authorities have urged anyone with information regarding the case to come forward.

Crime Police Raid Counterfeit Brand Warehouse in Prominent Bangkok Mall
Picture courtesy of Matichon. In a crackdown on counterfeit goods, police together with officials from the Department of Intellectual Property under the Ministry of Commerce and representatives from several brands, raided a hidden warehouse on the fourth floor of a well-known shopping mall in the Pathumwan district of Bangkok. The operation, conducted on 8 June, led to the discovery of a concealed stockpile of counterfeit designer footwear, including items bearing fake logos of high-end brands such as Dior, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Gucci, Nike, Adidas, New Balance, and Balenciaga. Authorities seized over 2,610 pairs of shoes with an estimated market value exceeding 10 million baht. The storage room had been cleverly disguised as an “Engineering Department” facility to avoid detection by mall security and authorities. However, following a detailed investigation and intelligence gathering, police obtained a search warrant from the Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court and successfully carried out the raid. Three suspects were arrested at the scene: Ms. Niphaporn 44, Mr. Siwanat 32 and Mr. Wanchai 60. All three confessed to owning the counterfeit merchandise and admitted their intent to sell the goods through retail outlets within the shopping centre. The suspects have been charged with “possession of goods bearing counterfeit trademarks registered in the Kingdom with the intent to sell,” and have been handed over to the Economic Crime Suppression Division (Econ Crime Division 1) for legal proceedings. The raid comes as part of ongoing efforts by Thai authorities to clamp down on the illegal trade of counterfeit goods, particularly those infringing upon registered international trademarks, which pose a significant threat to legitimate businesses and consumer trust.

Crime Construction Firm Director Arrested for Using 522 Fake Tax Invoices, Causing Over 10 Million
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Police have arrested a senior executive of a construction company accused of using hundreds of fraudulent tax invoices to unlawfully claim VAT credits, resulting in losses to the government exceeding 10 million baht. Mr Phongsak 49, a director and authorised signatory of Alex Built Co., Ltd., was apprehended by officers from the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD) on 8 June in front of his residence in Moo 5, Bang Krang subdistrict, Mueang district, Nonthaburi Province. The arrest was carried out under a warrant issued by the Thonburi Criminal Court (No. 189/2568, dated 11 February 2025). The operation was led by Pol Col Tattapoom Jaruprach, Commander of the ECD, with support from Pol Col Naruephon Karuna and Pol Lt Col Wannalop Rattanawong of ECD Sub-Division 2. The case stems from an investigation by the Nonthaburi Area Revenue Office 2, which uncovered evidence that Alex Built Co., Ltd. had submitted a total of 522 falsified tax invoices allegedly issued by various other companies. These invoices were used to inflate the company’s input tax claims, significantly reducing its payable value-added tax (VAT). Authorities determined that these forged documents were used to fraudulently claim tax deductions totalling 10,730,768 baht, prompting a formal complaint by revenue officials and the initiation of criminal proceedings. Mr Phongsak is charged with “jointly using forged tax invoices or unlawfully issued tax invoices to claim tax credits,” a serious offence under both tax and criminal law. During questioning, the suspect denied all charges. However, police say sufficient documentary evidence has been gathered to support the prosecution. He has since been handed over to investigators at ECD Sub-Division 2 for further legal proceedings. The arrest is part of a broader crackdown on tax evasion and economic crimes, which the ECD says continues to undermine public revenues and harm fair business practices. Authorities have vowed to pursue both individuals and companies involved in similar fraudulent activities. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-06-09
